"Lolade had seen this happen before, so she instinctively knew what to do. She downloaded Facebook onto her phone.
"I installed it to record what I knew was going to happen," she said. "I always said to myself if I had a police encounter I'd record it on Facebook Live."

This is instinctive? So she apparently never had a FB account before and instinctively downloaded FB, created an account, and learned how to use FB Live all before the police came? Yeah, right!!

I eat lettuce, but I always cook my lettuce, a weird concept for most people in the Western world. Simply plop freshly washed lettuce in a pot of boiling water with oil inside for 4 seconds and remove. Add condiments and enjoy.

I assume she had a FB account already, and just downloaded their app for live streaming. Unless I missed it, the story doesn't say she was new to FaceBook.

I guess so, but when the news said she downloaded FB, it seems to me that she was new and she created an account right there and then. I never knew that their app for live streaming was a separate app. I don't use FB.

I literally don't think he could. That portion of the business is going to be dictated by market forces and the pressure on the board to maintain profitability for the shareholders. Their goal is to get the most possible labor at the lowest possible price. They're pulling from a labor pool with limited options and low skills, so they can be "abusive" and give poor pay and benefits without worrying too much about low quality or high turnover. And when quality gets low or someone nuts up and quits, they're easily replaced by the next person desperate for a job. Unless Bezos personally writes everyone a check each month, I don't think he can demand that Amazon pay higher wages than are necessary to maintain the workforce that they need.

Costco seems to et away with it.

They could also move away from using temps and actually hire people.

I don't disagree with that being the reality, but the part that was being underscore is the complete lack of imagination (and self-absorbtion) for the man who created online shopping as it is today.

The extra privacy protections may decrease revenue. With free services, the customer is also the product. The true customer being advertising metrics.

Financial motivation to delay implementation.

The main effect will be that it creates a greater barrier of entry for new companies to enter the market. Established big companies have both the resources to implement this, and have the “trust” (often undeservedly so) of existing users.

Long story short: this will only marginally improve privacy, but vastly reduce new competition.

That’s how regulations work most of them times.

Indeed. So I have a smallish email list that I use for marketing. Now I have to email my list before the 25th asking them to opt IN. If anyone doesn't reply I have to opt them out. Since no one really cares about replying to this sort of request I expect to loose around 90% of my mailing list this way.

Hey ho.

This space for Hire! Reasonable rates. Reach an audience of literally dozens!

So, I went back to the search engine results, clicked on the exact same StoneGable link for a second time, and this time, it took me to the StoneGable website instead of redirecting me to that bogus trap page.

The discussion happened a long time ago. Avatars + Signatures made for too much noise around the text. After public discussion, we decided to allow only one. Most people chose signatures, so avatars lost out.

This was maybe 10 years ago. I haven't noticed the subject come up since.

The Lincoln forum is the worst.

Even if you specifically don't fill out that info, it still takes up space for every post.

I'm finding more and more car forums that seem to be little more than parked domains. Someone will buy "Chevy-Malibu.com" and set up a forum, fill it with ads, charge vendors to maintain accounts, and let it sit there, with little concern for actual forum content.

Location: Well the sports issue was within arm's reach but they closed up shop and kicked me out. And I'm out of toilet paper.

Why am I having such a hard time finding articles about the 13" Pro MacBook fan turning off (RPM = 0) when not under load? I tried multiple general internet searches and can't find this information and get a bunch of irrelevant search results.

Why am I having such a hard time finding articles about the 13" Pro MacBook fan turning off (RPM = 0) when not under load? I tried multiple general internet searches and can't find this information and get a bunch of irrelevant search results.

We analyzed the fan noise under macOS with the GPU benchmark Unigine Valley. The single fan steadily increases its speed over the one-hour test period according to the istat tool. The latter also hows that the fan is deactivated while idling, while the old MacBook models had slowly running fans that were always active.
